“Dessen weaves a sometimes funny, mostly emotional, and very satisfying story.”--VOYA
“Dessen explores the interior and exterior lives of her characters and shows their flaws, humanity, struggles, and incremental successes. This is young adult fiction at its best, delving into the minds of complex, believable teens, bringing them to life, and making readers want to know more about them with each turn of the page.” -Roxanne Myers Spencer, School Library Journal
